Fortunately redhats rpm will tell you what it needs to satisfy dependencies so theres no need for guess work, starting with the main rpm and trying that is probably the best way to go, it's still necessitates a bit of trial and error, of course if you have a bunch of rpm's to install and know that they will satisfy all the dependencies, but can't be bothered installing them in the proper order --nodeps could be handy ;-)
